TV /T ERCK'S MANUAL is designed to meet a need which every
general practitioner has often experienced. Memory is
treacherous. It is particularly so with those who have much
to do and more to think of. When the best remedy is wanted,
to meet indications in cases that are a little out of the usual
run, it is difficult, and sometimes impossible, to recall the whole
array of available remedies so as to pick out the best. Strange
to say, too, it is the most thoroughly informed man that is
likely to suffer to the greatest extent in this way ; because of
the very fact that his mind is overburdened. But a mere re-
minder is all he needs, to make him at once master of the
situation and enable him to prescribe exactly what his judgment
tells him is needed for the occasion.
In MERCK'S MANUAL the physician will find a complete
Ready-Reference Book covering the entire eligible Materia
Medica. A glance over it just before or just after seeing a patient
will refresh his memory in a way that will facilitate his coming
to a decision. In this book, small as it is, he will find the
essential data found in the ponderous Dispensatories, together
with the facts of newest record, which can appear only in future
editions of those works.
Part I affords at a glance a descriptive survey, in one alpha-
betic series, of the entire Materia Medica to-day in general use
by the American profession. Part 11 contains a summary of
Therapeutic Indications for the employment of remedies,
arranged according to the Pathologic Conditions to be combated.
Part III presents a Classification of Medicaments in accordance
with their Physiologic Actions.
The publishers may be allowed to state that they have
labored long and earnestly, so to shape this little volume that it
shall prove a firm and faithful help to the practitioner in his
daily round of duty. They now send it forth in the confident
hope that, the more it is put to the test of actual use, the more
it will grow in the esteem of its possessor.
CONTENTS
Pages Part First.— THE MATERIA MEDICA, as in actual
9 to 82. use to-day by American Physicians. (Alpha-
betically arranged.)
This part embraces all those Simple Medicinal Substances
(that is, drugs and chemicals) which are in current and
well-established use in the medical practice of this country;
or which, if too recently introduced to be as yet in general
use, are vouched for by eminent authorities in medical
science ; — also, the medicinally employed Pharmaceutic Pre-
parations recognized by the United States Pharmacopceia.
(Added thereto, for the convenience of those practitioners who
prescribe them, are Medicamentous Mixtures advertised only to
the Profession, but whose composition or mode of manufacture
has not been made known with sufBcient completeness or exactness
to satisfy all members of the Profession. In the selection the pub-
lishers have been guided solely by the recognition accorded the var-
ious preparations by the Profession, according to the best informa-
tion obtained.)
There has also been included, under the title of "Foods
and Dietetic Preparations," a list of such preparations as are
frequently prescribed for infants' diet, or for the sick or con-
valescent.
Omitted from the Materia Medica chapter are: Medica-
ments that have become obsolete, or that are too rarely used
to be of general interest; and such new remedies as are not yet
safely accredited on reliable authority; also those galenic
preparations (syrups, extracts, pills, essences, elixirs, wines,
emulsions, etc. ) which are not standardized according to the
U. S. Pharmacopoeia ; likewise all articles that are put up
and advertised for self-medication by the lay public.
Separate Titles in the alphabetic series are accorded,
as a rule, to the botanical drugs and other pharmaceutical
6
mother-substances, to proximate principles (alkaloids, glucos-
ides, organic acids, etc.), and to chemical compounds (salts,
"synthetics," etc.); while the official galenic preparations,
solutions and dilutions, derived from them, are mostly men-
tioned under the titles of their respective mother-substances.
(Thus, for instance, " Dover's Powder" will be found under
" Opium," while "Morphine" is described under its own
title. )
(Smaller type has been employed — in order to economize space —
for botanic drugs, griims, and some others of the older drugs and
preparations which are so long and veil known that but little
reference will need be made to them.)
(Those substances of the Materia Medica which can be had of the
Merck brand are — for the convenience of prescribers — so desig^n&ted).
Pages Part Second.— THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS for
83 to 1 84. the use of the Materia Medica and other agents.
(Arranged alphabetically under the titles of the
various Pathologic Conditions.)
This part summarizes in brief form, the principal means
of treatment for each form of disease, as reported to be
in good use with practitioners at the present time. The
statements hereon are drawn from the standard works of the
leading modern writers on Therapeutics, and supplemented —
in the case of definite chemicals of more recent introduction
— by the reports of reputable clinical investigators.
Pages Part Third.— CLASSIFICATION OF MEDICA-
1 85 to 1 92. MENTS according to their Physiologic Actions.
(Arranged alphabetically under the titles of the
Actions.)
This part recapitulates, tor ready survey, such state-
ments as are already given in " Part I," as to the modes of
action of the various medicaments.

W /Tien in immediate need
of Drugs or Chemicals not at hand, any
pharmacist is in a position to use our EMERGENCY
DEPARTMENT, which is in operation every day in
the year, Sundays and Holidays included, until ,9 p. m.
— Hurry orders reaching us after regular business
hours will receive prompt attention, — provided :
I — that they come by Wire;
2 — that they call for Merck's chemicals or drugs
(no other brands being in stock with us) ;
^ — and that the quantity and nature of the goods
admit of their being sent through the Mails.
As it is impossible for us to ascertain in each
instance the identity of a Physician who might wish
to make use of this department, we must insist (for
the proper protection of the Profession against the un-
authorized purchase of poisons, etc.; as well as in due
recognition, by us, of the established usage in the
traific with medicines and drugs) that every such order
be transmitted through an established Pharmacist ; and
pharmacists, when telegraphing orders to us, should
always mention their jobber to whom the article is to
be charged.
We trust that this Department will prove of value
in cases of emergency and immediate need.

ation on the Materia Medica and its recent develop-
, ments.
''MERCK'S ARCH I VES " tvill lay before the practi-
tioner the results of the Thought and Work of
I others on Drugs and their Uses^ in such form as to
be most directly serviceable to him.
The Condensed Reports on ^'Advance in Materia Medica''
will give enough of the theoretical reasoning and
clinical experience of the original authors, to make
clear the value of their conclusions.
The Papers, -etc., of " Original Research " will be only
such as combine relative brevity with practical use-
\ fulness. At the same time they will be of such high
character as to invite the attention of him also who
reads from purely scientific interest.
The Selections from the world' s medical Periodic Liter-
ature will be taken solely with a view to their sug-
gestive value to the physician regardi7ig remedial
agents and their applications.
The sig7iifica?ice of the other matters in ^'■MERCK' S
ARCHIVES" is evident from their description in
the preceding synopsis of contents; while their
presentation will likewise be in full accord 7vith
the principles indicated above : — Practical Useful-
ness ; Scientific Exactness j Ethical Dignity ; Pal-
atable and Readily Digestible Eorm.
